Default Car stolen....... bit bemused really!!

Well, my trusty G reg 1.0 litre 4-speed fiesta that I paid £130 for in Feb for got stolen last night from outside my girlfriends house ...... I can't belive it, it is worth less than the cloths you are wearing, it's a bit of a mess and some coont has stolen it and burnt it out ... amazing ... It ran out of MOT at the end of this month anyway, and was not going to go again, but I am pissed off now that I stand to have to claim on my insurance to get the fooking thing removed from the woods its been burnt in. First thing I knew about it was about 8.50am today when my mum rang and said the coppers were on the phone saying the car had been found burnt out

I don't really give a shit about the car, but I am pissed off as I had a huge kit bag in the car, and as I got in so late last night after travelling home I didn't take it in as I didn't want to wake everyone up (2am, im in the RAF ) Its got 95% of my clothes in , and all my personal Items etc, which they didn't remove and burnt with the car less than 3 miles from where they stole it from...had 6 football shirts in that are worth at least £50 each, and fuckloads of other stuff , what a bunch of retards

Ah well, shit happens, just glad it was a £130 fiesta and not either of my cossies ...Pics later for comedy value

Thats shit luck! Can't see any point in doing that to be honest!? Nick it, take it 3 miles and burn it? Sounds like a good night out!

Yes I have mate, I won't be making any dodgy claims as it's not right, all I want is the kit I had replacing .... spoke to the tossers at AXA today and they can't do anything till monday , and the guy recons I won't get like for like replacement, as my clothes etc are worn, hence only attract a used % payout ..... What fucking use is getting half the value of my stuff back? I have paid for 8 years and never made a claim, so they WILL be paying for everything I had stolen, nothing mad probably about £400 of clothes and a few other bits like my prescription sunglasses etc....

I hate insurance, quick enough to take your cash yet when it comes to an honest claim they try and screw you over... the guy was even saying I had to claim off my car insurance and not thiers ... don't think so buddy boy, thats why I have KIT insurance ....

They probably do it because they think people won't bother reporting/pressing charges/chasing it up because the car is worthless anyway.

That and it would be much easier to steal than a more expensive car.

I was kidding mate..altho i do know someone who uses their kit insurance regularly
Last one I heard was a suitcase came off their car down the motorway & had 2x adult clothes plus 1x kid clothes inside.
